SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 750,338, dated January26, 1904.

Application led June 22, 1903. Serial No. 162,621. (No model.)

To au whom it may concern: l

Be it known that I, ANGELO PAUL BEYER- LEN, a citizen of the GermanEmpire, residing at Stuttgart, in the Kingdom of Wrtemberg,

Germany, have invented certain new and use-` ful Improvements inTabulating Devices for Type-Writing Machines, of which the following isa description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and tothe letters of reference marked thereon.

The tabulator shown in the drawings consists of several slides or guidesadjustable on a special bar or rail, which can partly cover each otheror be placed one above the other. The slides are provided withindication-figures which serve for the arranging of the rows.

Figure l shows a front elevation; Fig. 2, a section.

On the movable carriage c of the type-writer a rail d of E shape incross-section, Eig. 2, is fastened in front above the usual xed scale c,so that this rail is moved to and fro with the carriage. The slides orguides e are adjustable on the rail and grip round the same, as shown inEig. 2, covering a half of the front surface of the rail, so that it ispossible to move an upper and lower slide past one another together, asis shown in Fig. l, with regard to the first two slides to the left. Incaseit is not required to adjust the slides over another thisarrangement is not absolutely necessary. Each slide bears the numberlO00O00.-and each ligure isdistant from the other by eX- actly one spaceof the carriage adjustment. In this number, equal to amillion, the firstfour figures are made rather larger to distinguish them better from thelast three naughts; but of course this arrangement is not absolutelynecessary. In sums of money the point behind the number indicates thedecimal. The dash behind the point indicates in the German monetarysystem the pfennigs; but of course the graduation can be effected in anyother way. Six slides are shown in Eig. l. `One can thus insert on thewhole breadth of the paper six different rows or columns of figures orin'- 'If it is desired to write a list or table of numbers, theindicator f is first of all Xed in the middle of the scale c. Then theslides e are brought to that place of the scale c which corresponds toeach column or row of figures to be written. WhenV the slides are inposition, it is only necessary to bring the number corresponding to eachslide and to the column belonging thereto according to its value beforethe pointer f. The numbers appear then on the right place on the paper.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature oi' my saidinvention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare thatwhat I claim is- 1. In a type-writers tabulator, a rail for thecarriage, a series of graduated or numbered slides, mounted in upper andlower rows on said rail, the slides in one row being capable ofadjustment past those of the other, in combination with an indicator orpointer for attachment to the usual fixed graduated scale.

2. In a type-writers tabulator, a rail for the carriage having upper andlower websor ribs, and upper and lower graduated or numbered slidesgripping said webs and of a width to allow either series to slide pastthe other, in combination with an indicator or pointer for attachment tothe usual Xed scale.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANGELO PAUL BEYERLEN.
